[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree on a time for breakfast, say 8am. They can do whatever before, but as soon as it's 8 and breakfast is served (have a visible clock or a timer nearby, so they can see exactly what time it is), they have to turn everything off without questions.

Then if they have cooperated well, they have another half an hour or how long you think is good at strictly 4pm and until 4.30pm. If they fight you, they lose the afternoon screentime.

This is what I do with my 7, 11, 11 and 14yo, and it's worked really well since we implemented this during their last school break. It also helps that I have the full support of the mother who reiterates the rules before she leaves for work every morning. We also keep all the portable gadgets in a big basket on the computer desk, and they're very good about forgetting it's there - out of sight out of mind.[/quote]
Your key to success is of course, parental support.
OP doesn't have that, so she's destined for continued failure. So sad.[/quote]
